As we age, the face naturally loses volume, elasticity, and hydration—leading to wrinkles, hollow areas, and sagging skin. But thanks to modern aesthetic medicine, turning back the clock has never been easier—or more natural-looking. One of the most effective, non-surgical solutions is dermal fillers. At VISAGE Clinic in Toronto, Dr. Marc DuPéré, a board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeon, offers expert dermal filler treatments that restore youthful contours, and smooth lines, and enhance facial harmony. It should also be mentioned that, unlike many Toronto clinics, it is Dr. DuPéré himself performing all injections at VISAGE for a safe and optimal aesthetic and rejuvenating result.
Whether you’re new to fillers or seeking to refine your current treatment plan, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about dermal fillers in Toronto, including popular products, how they work, and what to expect.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Unlike Botox and Dysport, which relax muscles, fillers work by plumping up the skin from beneath, restoring youthful, lifted structure and hydration.
At VISAGE Clinic, Dr. DuPéré uses a variety of premium fillers, including:
- JUVÉDERM® – Ideal for softening wrinkles and enhancing lips and cheeks
- Restylane® – A versatile option for smoothing lines and restoring facial volume
- RADIESSE® – A unique calcium-based filler that can augment bone structures but also stimulates collagen for longer-term improvement
- Sculptra® Aesthetic – a “biostimulator” known for gradually stimulating collagen to improve skin thickness and firmness over time
Each filler is formulated for specific purposes and areas of the face, nose, hands and genital areas. Dr. DuPéré selects the best option based on your anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are made from substances that mimic natural components of the skin, notably hyaluronic acid. When injected, they immediately lift and smooth targeted areas by filling in wrinkles, softening folds, and replenishing lost volume.
Key benefits include:
- Instant results that continue to improve as the filler settles
- Hydrated, more radiant skin thanks to water-binding properties of hyaluronic acid
- Minimal downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities quickly
Under Dr. DuPéré’s expert hands, dermal fillers are placed with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking, symmetrical results that complement your facial features—not overpower them. To enhance safety and to minimize downtime, Dr DuPéré uses the cannula technique, a more technical but safer way to enhance one’s beauty.
Popular Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used in multiple areas of the face and body to address signs of aging or enhance natural features. At VISAGE Clinic, some of the most requested treatment zones include:
- Cheeks – Restores youthful fullness and lift
- Nasolabial folds – Softens smile lines running from nose to mouth
- Lips – Enhances shape and volume while smoothing vertical lip lines
- Jawline & Chin – Defines lower face and improves facial balance
- Under-Eye Hollows (Tear Troughs) – Reduces tired-looking shadows
- Hands – Rejuvenates by adding volume and masking visible veins and tendons
- Temples: Hollowed temples (sometimes called “peanut head”) are signs of aging and fillers can efficiently and smoothy restore the lost volumes
- Earlobes: Earlobes deflate over time and fillers can be used to restore volume. Fillers can also help lobes that have almost torn due to heavy earrings by strengthening the remaining bridge of skin.
- Nose: The so-called “non-surgical rhinoplasty” is an efficient way to correct a concavity or asymmetry in one’s nose, often avoiding surgery. It can also help in camouflaging a nasal hump. Fillers in the nose can also be used (carefully and with the cannula technique) to correct mild asymmetries post-nasal surgery
- Penis & scrotum: Penile augmentation has become a very common request for thickening and enlarging the girth of the male organ, shaft and glans. In a similar way, fillers can be used to enhance the size of one’s scrotum, the so-called “scrofill” procedure
- Labia majora: Deflation of the outer labia is common with aging and after pregnancies and dermal fillers can effectively restore their pre-baby volume.
- Buttocks and hips-dips: Fillers can be used for minor changes in the derrière region if a patient is not interested in the more effective and efficient surgical fat grafting procedures.
Each area requires a deep understanding of anatomy and aging patterns—an area where Dr. DuPéré’s background in plastic surgery makes a significant difference as plastic surgeons are trained for the entire body, from head to toes.
Why Choose Dr. DuPéré for Fillers in Toronto?
While dermal fillers are available at many med spas and clinics, performing the injections is just as important as the product being used. As a Royal College Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. DuPéré brings years of advanced training and hands-on experience to each procedure.
